But am particularly fond of 3558

I’ve had a soft spot for his designs ever since trying a Krono about 15 years ago, so am happy to hear the Besançon outfit may be back in force after falling victim to the 2008 crash. He’s been active with collaborations over the last few years, which has yielded some clever use of shapes and colour

And thank you!

It’s with an artisan and artist 60mm 2x 2.8 macro on a Sony A7C full frame camera. Amazing what a few hundred will buy nowadays in terms of camera kit.

I had initially tried to do this a few months ago but I don’t think I had the lighting quite right. I don’t have a macro rail and the setup is improvised so it’s very difficult to nail a shot.

I wonder if there is a technical reason for the reduction in quantity over the years? This one operates with an average time keeping daily accuracy of +1spd

The proportions are very dialled, I particularly appreciate the sharp slope and edge of the lugs and how the tapering talks with the crown guards.

Always a good way to start the day

Decided to pull the macro lens out for a few photos, please excuse the dust! Hope you enjoy
